Abstract In order to improve the teaching effectiveness of graduate students, by combining a scientific case of coal-fired thermal power plants in combustion efficiency and environmental risk assessment by using different types of coal with the scientific research project of urban haze pollution prevention and control, our team innovatively applied chemical process simulation and fault tree analysis method to the teaching of “environmental pollution and risk assessment” for graduate students of Resources and Environment. The teaching focuses on the relationship between coal burning pollutants and combustion temperature during the atmospheric environment risk assessment, and the causative mechanism of coal burning and haze pollution. The practice results show that this teaching method is helpful to concretize, animate and simplify the theoretical knowledge, and enables students to intuitively understand the relationship between content change of coal burning products and combustion temperature. At the same time, the fault tree analysis was used to guide students to clarify the cause mechanism and prevention logic of coal burning and haze pollution. It is helpful for students to master the application of chemical process simulation and interdisciplinary systems engineering theory in the field of air pollution risk assessment. It also can strengthen the training of graduate students' innovative thinking and comprehensive practice ability.
